About this board game

Decktective: You Can’t Cheat Death is a cooperative crime game for 1–6 players, with sessions lasting about 60 minutes. It can be played together in a group or as a solo investigation.

Travel to Las Vegas in 1950, where the Domein Casino is hosting a high-stakes secret game. Three crime bosses and the mayor are gathered around the table, but when you arrive, everyone is dead.

Your task is to discover who killed them and determine what the secret game was really about. To do so, collect the facts connected to the crime and examine how they fit together.

• Documents
• Traces
• Audio recordings

Each piece of information can help shape the investigation. Combine the available facts cleverly and look for plausible solutions as you work to explain the events at the casino.

Designed for cooperative play but suitable for a lone detective too, Decktective: You Can’t Cheat Death offers a focused crime-solving experience built around gathering evidence and connecting clues. The game was released in 2022.
